"Nosaltres no mirem d’on bufa el vent per decidir on anem. Si de cas, nosaltres som el vent" (Raül Romeva)
El president de la Generalitat, Artur Mas, ha decidit fer el pas al costat per facilitar un acord de Junts pel Sí i la CUP que permeti d’avançar en el procés cap a la independència.
El pròxim president de la Generalitat serà el batlle de Girona i president de l’AMI, Carles Puigdemont.
Amb la decisió política d'aquest dissabte, Mas passa a la història. I per la seva generositat, tan exòtica en la política, avui cal dir gràcies president. (Lluís Bou)

Rusty vents I came across in Portugal.
This is just three of what looked like an invading army on the roof of one of the buildings.
I just loved the contrast of rust against the sky.

I've been having so much fun with light new toys recently — the Z6 and Canon G5 X — I decided to get out some old, clunky gear and see what it felt like and what I could do with it...

This female Coppersmith Barbet is trying to jettison a load of digested berries consumed during the mating process. The cloacal (reproductive organ), which appeared as a swollen vent is clearly visible. Contrary to other birds, her poo is brownish and hard in texture while most is whitish and watery.
This is probably due to its dietary of fruits and berries.

Coppersmith Barbet F-cking in broad daylight
All the while I was looking out for that ‘man thing’ to appear from behind the male bird but it was nowhere to be found. I was wondering how do they do it?
It goes like this…. The male does not possess a penis as most birds don’t
Instead both sexes possess a special organ known as a cloaca (part of the vent). When they get into position as seen above, their cloacas are pressed together and the sperm is transfer from the male to the female, in a fraction of a second !! This lightning fast action is called a cloacal kiss. The pair would repeat the process numerous times throughout the day for many days. I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy doing that, but for a bird it’s all about quantity and not quality
However the female will be awarded with a berry after each intense session.
When the male runs out of berries he would then quickly looks for more in preparation for the next round of excitement.
Most male birds do not have a penis with the exception of ducks and geese which possess a whopping penis length of 18 inches (that is even one inch longer than mine!!)
They need such scary length because ducks and geese do it over water. They can't simply rub cloacas as water will swallow their precious sperm.
The long length will ensure deep and fast delivery of its load inside the female reproductive organ. Ducklings guaranteed
